How can I clone task with subtasks to another project and then any new subtasks created afterwards?

How can I clone task with subtasks to another project and then any new subtasks created afterwards?

We have two projects A and B. When a subtask is created in A we want to clone task and subtask to project B. If a new subtask is added to Project A's task we also want to clone that to project A's parent clone in project B. We also need to copy over any updates to tasks.

Is this possible?

Hi @Tester- Amy

You can use Automation to achieve this. Choose a trigger that fits you (could be on create or a specific JQL query that qualifies the issues you want cloned over).

Same with updates, trigger could be on update.

Yes, I've been trying with automation. My issue is in trying to move new subtasks across, because I somehow have to know the Project B parent issue key to be able to create/clone the subtask to.

Hi again @Tester- Amy

Sorry, I missed your comment. Have you fixed this yet?

You can also add to your automation rule a "Refetch issue data" action to refresh the data that is available to the automation rule:

And then you can use that new data to continue.

Let me know how that goes.
